Rescue System: Fleeing Host, calm down

Chapter 42 Clan Meeting 2

"me"

Cheng Xiaoxiao held up his forehead. Her father was sweating on his forehead. It seemed that he was not suitable for such an occasion. He was speechless for a long time.

Facing so many clan elders, her uncle did not dare to interrupt. Seniority was overwhelming, and Uncle Cheng Beiniu stood in the corner silently.

What's going on with these three people? It's not a three-chamber trial, right?

Seeing that Cheng Yong couldn't explain why, everyone was more suspicious and felt that they had been deceived.

Uncle Qi knocked the ground with his crutch and said unkindly: "What the third child said is right. We can't just let the wind be the rain. After all, it didn't come from Master Ming. Let me ask you, how old is Master Jingyuan and how many divination are there?"

How come you haven't heard of his name before?"

Cheng Yong was dumbfounded when he heard it. The daughter's explanation did not mention the age of Master Jingyuan. If she did, the elders would not believe it. Even when he met Master Jingyuan, he did not believe that he was a master.

how to explain?

At this time, someone said, "Cheng Laoer, why don't you answer? Or are you lying?"

Cheng Yong did not dare to hide it, and said sarcastically: "No, Master Jingyuan, he is probably twenty years old."

Then he hurriedly explained: "Although Master Jingyuan is not very old, he has mastered the true biography of Master Ming and cured Xiao Xiao. This junior saw everything with his own eyes and did not dare to hide anything."

The man who spoke just now had a bad tone and said disdainfully: "Tsk, you've been cheated for two decades. What are you doing? A child whose hair hasn't even grown yet, how can you still return it to the master?"

"Furthermore, Master Ming was not present, so maybe Xiao Er was really deceived." Uncle Seventh said bluntly. He felt that this possibility was very high.

Seeing that Cheng Yong couldn't resist, the village chief stood up and helped explain:

"Dear clan elders, although the matter is a little ridiculous, Master Jingyuan is in the land of Buddhism and is a disciple of Master Lingming, so there is absolutely no way he would make such a joke."

In his opinion, the thing is probably true, and he continued: "We have no evidence to prove that it is false, it may be the truth. Everyone knows that Cheng Yong is an honest man, and he cannot deceive everyone with such a big thing.

.”

Seeing the village chief express his opinion, someone from the patriarchal faction immediately jumped out to refute, "That could also be a trick. Do you have any evidence to prove that our village will be hit by a disaster soon?"

"That is, we have lived here for decades and nothing has happened. Don't listen to the nonsense of people outside and just believe it."

"That's right, that's right"

Everyone was whispering to each other again, and voices of opposition and questioning continued to reach Cheng Xiaoxiao's ears.

Cheng Xiaoxiao thought that everyone would believe it quickly. She mainly came to see how everyone formulated a prevention plan. There was strength in numbers and whether there was anything she had overlooked. She didn't expect these stubborn old people to be so difficult to deal with.

Suddenly I wanted to laugh so hard that my life was gone, and I still had endless thoughts.

If you are unhappy, you will be unhappy. If Cheng Xiaoxiao is unhappy, you will have to attack others.

No longer silent, he strode forward and bowed to the clan elders. They were all the elders of the original owner, so basic respect was still required.

He said respectfully: "Dear clan elders, elders, can you listen to Xiao Xiao?"

For a while, the lobby became quiet.

There were also some people who taunted in a low voice, "When the elders are talking, how can the younger ones interrupt? They don't know how to behave."

Cheng Xiaoxiao ignored those who gossiped and did not wait for anyone to answer her. She said to herself: "Elders, you have been discussing for a long time. Did you miss the key point?"

The third uncle took a puff of cigarette, shook the cigarette rod, and said with interest: "Oh! Xiao Yatou, tell me, what is the key point?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao was not polite, "Of course it's life! There are more than 200 lives in our village. If a disaster strikes, how many people will be left in our village? What everyone cares about in the discussion are financial gains and losses, fault and liability." He said one by one.

He scanned no one present.

Everyone looked inexplicably uncomfortable.

Then he continued: "Have you never thought about human life? No matter what the truth is, there is no evidence to prove anything now. This is a big gamble. If you win the gamble, your family's life will be safe and you can continue to live. If you lose the gamble, you will lose some property at most.

And Kung Fu, we can still earn it back in the future, but if..."

After a pause, he looked at the clan leader, who felt inexplicably guilty.

"If you don't gamble, there is a chance that you will die, so it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. If you want to survive, make arrangements in advance. If you think you are lucky, you can pretend that it is not a problem. It is as simple as that."

Everyone looked at each other in shock. Cheng Xiaoxiao's words woke up many people like a wake-up call.

They never thought they would lose their lives before.

Who dares to bet on life!

Who doesn’t care about life!

Seeing that everyone has woken up a bit, Cheng Xiaoxiao thinks that the old antiques can still be saved.

So, he solemnly said: "The elders here are basically four generations under one roof. Won't you think about your sons, grandsons, and little great-grandsons? You have lost your life. At least you have lived a long time, and your life is almost complete.

But do you dare to gamble with the lives of the juniors? Their lives have just begun, and there are endless possibilities, can you really bear it?"

Looking at the guilty people present, he turned around and pointed at the ancestral house in the innermost place where the rankings were placed, "Do you dare in front of the ancestors of the Cheng family?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao's words touched the hearts of the elders of all ethnic groups, and their expressions changed one after another. Yes! They have lived enough, but what about the younger generations? They can't afford this gamble, and they can't ruin the lives and future of their children.

.

Whose child is not pampered, whose child is not lively, cute, and smart? If they lose their child's life because of their disbelief and selfish decision, they will be scared to think about it, and they will not be able to see their ancestors when they die.

The clan leader was very fickle, and when Cheng Xiaoxiao said this, it seemed like it was true. This sharp-tongued girl was a liar, and she didn't have a good word to say.

He cleared his throat and said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet. Xiao Yatou is just guessing. The truth is not that bad. Don't scare yourself. Even if the flood floods, it will only flood the banker at most. It can't be so serious."

Fuck you, you stubborn old man, you always go against my sister.

If it weren’t for seeing so many innocent villagers, my sister would not serve anyone, she would say everything she said, but she would forcefully quibble even if she got the job, and she wouldn’t say a few words. She would feel uncomfortable, really!

Stupid!

ignorance!

The third uncle knocked on the table with his old cigarette stick and spoke, "What Xiao Yatou said makes sense. Let's bet big rather than small. We can't afford to lose if we lose. The grain that should be harvested can be harvested in advance, and the ditches can be dug.

, put all the items that can be packed high up, so that you are prepared."

The sixth uncle also nodded in agreement, "Even if nothing happens, everyone will not suffer much loss. We have taken the necessary measures for peace of mind."

The village chief said that he would listen to the elders of the two clans and make arrangements immediately.

Several other clan elders who are of the same generation as the clan leader also responded and were willing to cooperate in the work.

The clan leader suddenly became embarrassed, and it was hard to refute what the clan elders said. A few old guys of the same generation as him could still choke on a few words, but the third uncle and the sixth uncle were his elders, so he had to give them face.

Cheng Xiaoxiao smiled.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, the third uncle and the sixth uncle were so awesome. In fact, Cheng Xiaoxiao should be called the third uncle, uncle. This is not a seniority, so everyone calls it that way, and all the villagers call it that way.

It's nice not to have to waste any more words on her part.

However, she still had to give a warning, lest the news spread and someone got confused.
